More free firewood delivered to bushfire victims

More than 800 tonnes of donated firewood will be cut, split, loaded and delivered this weekend to Tasmanians affected by January's bushfires.

It is the second time Ricky Birch has organised free firewood for bushfire victims.

Volunteers from across the state have been working chainsaws since early this morning, cutting and splitting the wood ready to be delivered.

Mr Birch says many families lost their wood sheds and stacks in the January fires and are facing a long cold winter.

"Some people lost their wood heaps and wood sheds but their house has probably survived so we've got people who've lost houses and living in sheds and have small wood heaters in sheds so it's going all to the people of Dunalley and surrounding communities who've been affected by the fires down here," he said.
